Anyhow, this video just shows why we not only need libertarians in congressional office and gubernatorial-style positions (e.g., through the genuinely libertarian “Tea Party” candidates), but also DAs, cops, etc.

We need to infiltrate the system at all levels with people who take liberty seriously. What good is it having a libertarian judge or lawmaker on your side when cops ignore, misrepresent and downright *resent* the law…and then shoot your sleeping children and dogs to boot?

Balko, I’m still waiting for you to go back to law school and then run for DA in, e.g., Maryland or some other place that needs it. (Nashville could use it, too.)

Honest brokers in the DA’s office would be great, but it certainly isn’t a panacea. Just ask Adrian Schoolcraft what happens to people who attempt to clean up the system. (for those who aren’t about to wait around for 20 minutes to get the punch line, Schoolcraft was a cop who was arrested and secreted away to a mental hospital after he reported problems with his precinct to internal affairs. The link includes a recording he made as they hauled him out of his bedroom.)
